Zuni Visitors Center
Improvement Project
Revitalizing the Zuni Visitors Center into A Vibrant Cultrual Hub for Visitors and the Zuni Pueblo!
Project Overview
Our first MainStreet Great Blocks Project
In collaboration with the Pueblo of Zuni, New Mexico MainStreet, and Zuni Tourism, we are working to improve the western portion of the Zuni Visitors Center into a multi-use cultural hub for our artists, entrepreneurs, residents and visitors. The project will turn the existing space into a vibrant rest stop with spaces for art, presentations, vending, and seating. Our goal is to create a place where community members and visitors can learn and walk through the history of Zuni from creation to present through lively art pieces either alone or guided. The art history covers four pivotal moments in our history: Two Eggs and Splitting of People, Migration and Search for the Middle Place, the Importance of Water, and Zuni Today.
Current Status: Design Phase by Pland Collaborative (updated 9/25)

Narrative Artist Engagement: Sharing the Story of Place
We need local artist input about how the art will be created to fit our project vision. We need your assistance with design ideas for metal-plate fencing, mosaic rock and stone paving, murals, shade panels, and water harvesting. These artistic designs present the history of Zuni from creation to present in four story-telling elements shown below.
Please review the Project Overview and study the full design concepts below.
